At least five people have
been killed in attack on the Kenyan coast, close to the scene of raids
last week in which more than 60 people died.
Officials said an armed gang descended on the village of Witu, about 15km (9 miles) from the town of Mpeketoni.
No group has claimed of responsibility.
Somali Islamist group al-Shabab said it carried out last week's attacks in Mpeketoni, near Lamu. Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, however, blamed local political groups.
Lamu County Commissioner Stephen Ikua confirmed on Tuesday there had been a new "unfortunate attack" overnight.
Al-Shabab said previous raids were in response to the presence of Kenyan troops in Somalia.
Kenyan fighter jet launched renewed air strikes on the group's bases in Somalia in recent days, officials say.
